PTI's new Banner Builder set is a really sweet, whimsical set that I really knew I would love using. Little did I know that I would find great inspiration in the littlest stamp in the set. A tiny little x stamp. If you're not careful, you'll loose it! As soon as I saw it, I thought of cross stitch and I have been waiting to try out my idea for about a week now. I love the result!
It really comes together more quickly than you might think. I love the look with a mix of colors and on the bunny. It gives the bunny a home made vintage toy look.
On this card I just used one ink color and I love the way that looks too! I used my PTI felt for the first time on this card. {Thanks, Audrey!}
Thanks for coming by today!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the 2nd card. Hawaiian Shores I think? Fabulous - the acrylic oval and the butterfly over the flower. Great job! Stunning idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea!!! Love the clear cdstk too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for that stamp. I didn't even know it was in there. Love the butterfly on the second card too.
ReplyDeleteThat little x makes an adorable image on a baby card. It is especially cute on the bunny with all that great sparkly glitter. Cute cards today, Kara.
ReplyDeleteVery cool cards, Kara! I love how you used the x to make a stitched look. It turned out great!
